Waiting around in the 'competitive pool' is beginning to make me nervous. Does anyone know how many WA openings are still available? I believe that the final EXCOM meeting is the end of March, does that mean its the only one for us?

Hey! No bucking the trend of using the huge UWash adcome meeting thread. Besides, I think this is answered there.

Brookester:

There are ADCOM meetings for WA residents on 2/23, 3/2, 3/9, and 3/16. At each of these meetings there will always be new applicants that have just interviewed. From 3/23-3/25 they will have final reviews for everyone still left in the pool and will make final acceptances, rejections, and the two waitlists. Hang in there, as we are all just as anxious and nervous as you are....and trust me, there are alot of us. FYI, there have been approximately 45-50 WA seats filled out of the 100 so far.

Thanks for the info and good luck to you!

So it seems that there are 50-55 seats left to be filled. Do you happen to know how many people are still in the competitive pool?

I tried getting that out of an admissions counselor about a week ago and wasn't given an exact number. But, from what they said, I would guess about 200 or so. You have to remember that not only are there 50-55 seats left but they also add another 25 seats on the ranked waitlist, which in the past 10 years has been completely exhausted. So there are about 75-80 seats left. If any of get the chance, you should try calling the admissions office and see if the counselor you happen to get will give out some numbers! 👍 If they do, please report back!

Anyone have any idea (or any stories) to share about WA people who were on the unranked waitlist but not accepted and then re-applied? This is my situation this year. I am pretty much just making myself crazy by even looking at this website, but I can't help myself!! A friend of mine was put on the ranked list the 2nd year, and ultimately accepted off of that, but that's the only story I know...Thanks!

If accepted to UW, would you go there?

If you're rejected, what is your back-up plan or school?

I would attend UW this year without a doubt, because I only applied to UW this year (gasp!). I know that seems to go against the norm on this website, but I couldn't help holding onto a bit of optimism while on the unranked last year. By the time I got the official "no" it was way too late to apply to other schools. If I don't get in this year, I will apply near and far next year. I took my last MCAT in 2003 - I can't figure out if that covers me for next year's application plus the year after, or just next year. I know it's 3 years, but it seems like calendar-wise, I could get a 4th application cycle out of it...not sure.

In other words, I have no back-up plan for this year! I will continue to work and focus on big-time apps for next year....sigh.
